Starting in December, Chrysler will offer the option of live mobile TV in its vehicles—a first for a U.S. automaker. The service will include 20 channels, with offerings like CBS Mobile, CNBC, Comedy Central, FOX News, MSNBC, MTV, NBC 2Go and Nickelodeon.
It will be available as a $629 factory-installed option, plus installation. This comes with a one-year free subscription as well.
The signals will flow through FLO TV’s dedicated multicast network, and will be available only in 100 markets and along some interstate driving corridors. In other words, if you live in rural areas or are traveling outside of the 100 markets listed a lot, the service probably won’t be worth the money.
The service can also be added to certain 2008-2010 vehicles that have already been purchased, but you’ll have to have the specific Mopar headrest or seat-top DVD entertainment systems installed first.
Previously, Chrysler used Sirius Satellite for in-car video viewing but they used only three specific channels created just for them, not existing networks’ live feeds.
They also plan to buy Hummers from China, at a really, really good price. They will sell like hotcakes - but not under the Chrysler brand.

I'm guessing Chinese Hummers will be branded "Alfa Romeo"
Ursula is going to just love you.
I one time said that they were cute, and mentioned that they made great little ash trays. Oh, boy. . . !
